I think it could end up as important as maybe the brand of tires or the branded stereo equipment in a car.

Fair enough, wasn’t sure which limitation you were talking about. Now, agreed in regards to any situation where installing a charger isn’t even possible. I’m not sure it’s fair to say that absolutely no company is going to pay to upgrade to level 2 at a company’s home. We’ve already seen enough companies quickly turn…

I also work in a plant - well, technically, beside a plant, since I'm in the office. We don’t put our accountants on the line because we’re not fucking stupid.

Unions are like condoms; if someone is trying to say you don’t need one, you definitely need one.

Judging by how you already own that, no.

First gear: Suggesting that EVs aren’t comprised of fewer components and are generally simpler to produce by pointing out Tesla’s historical (and continuing) quality management flaws is spurious at best.

That’s a long way to drive just to disappoint her.

She mentions the importance of social metrics and yet Jalopnik has failed to link any of her accounts here.

I understand the reaction to subscription vehicles and the corrosion of the traditional concept of ownership generally. BUT...

Why do the Democrats go through all the trouble of getting elected if they’re not going to do anything while in office?

Biden isn’t changing course on anything that Trump has done.

The problem with “Just-in-time” is everyone only reads surface deep into it and doesn’t truly understand the philosophy of it. People just think that inventory=bad when that is not at all the case. Toyota had a chip shortage like 10 years ago (I think during the Japanese tsunami?) and so they adjusted chip inventory…

Most trucks don’t have this, and the ones that do are beat up shitty old trucks that will never be replaced because they owners are living off government money while screaming about how much they hate Socialism...

LOL. there are TONS of polls that show just how delusional republicans are about the election. google is your friend. “Good” data? Yeah, that seems like an easy, baseless way to ignore the facts.

I have a 53 mile one way commute so this isn’t the car for me. That’s fine. There are others that can accommodate my commute.

he’s a good young man with a bright future ahead of him. they politely asked him and he politely responded that he didn’t mean it, like a good young man with a bright future ahead of him would 

What you have to understand about Conservatism is at its core, it is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.

The truth is that the “thinking man’s truck” is actually a cargo van…

The way I see it, Tesla shouldn’t be allowed to release their FSD/Autopilot software to the general public in its beta form. If they want to test and gather data, they need to do it how the other companies like Waymo do it. Controlled situations, specified routes, with trained engineers/operators ready to intervene.…

Solid counterargument, bro.
